Mount House School
School summary
A small co-educational independent school in Barnet, Mount House serves around 230 pupils across the full secondary span from 11 to 18. Its modest size is part of its character: with a sixth form of 57, it offers an intimate setting in which pupils are more likely to be known as individuals than lost in a crowd. The school is non-denominational and takes no boarders, drawing its community from the local area. Inspectors from the ISI rated the school good in its most recent inspection, with personal development also judged good and all compliance standards met.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs and A-levels, with the Extended Project Qualification available to those wanting to pursue independent study in greater depth. Entry at 11 is the main intake point. The ISI's good rating, alongside its assessment of personal development, suggests a school where steady progress and pastoral care go hand in hand rather than one chasing headline results.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, all-through independent in Barnet for families who value a close-knit setting over scale. Under Head Jonathan Cooper, it offers a recognised path from Year 7 to the sixth form.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
